Riddle this Riddle that.

“What’s green and can say ‘Hey, I’m a frog.’?”—the talking frog.

Well, that’s one of the stupid jokes I got from Friends. Hehe. A Riddle can be amusing, if it’s not confusing. I like solving those, particularly the ones with words. Word gaming is fun, forming verbs, twisting meanings, or arranging letters. It’s the simplest game. Like what they say about Scrabble, “A minute to learn, A lifetime to master.”

You have been given nine numbers. One until Nine.

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9

These numbers are displayed in this specific array below :

8 5 4 9 1 7 _ _ _

The last three positions are being left out for you to fill in. What number comes next after 7? And what will be next? It’s your job to think. I may remind you that this may seem like a math problem. But if you’re as bright as I hope, you will be able to see the answer right away even with no math skill at all.

Well, have a try. I’ll have the answer for you in the end of this post. Be an honest person and don’t cheat! I know you won’t stoop that low.

Another riddle for you today. Read this sentence below thoroughly and meticulously.

“Tom Cruise walks to the end of Wall Street. There he finds a Sphinx whose ass is stomped in the middle of the MET. Agatha Christie is the first person to see. Tell me, what would they like to drink best?”

Well, that one is easy. Hehehe.

While you are thinking and soliloquizing, I shall serve you with these fun quotes from Friends below.
